We had originally planned on visiting Yosemite NP for two days. The first day was a total bust due to the park rangers doing a managed burn in Yosemite Valley. Of course they didn't mention that at the gate before we drove the hour and a half across the park.
On the second day snow was forecast so we opted to stay on the east side of the Tioga Pass which crosses the mountains. We made the right decision because they closed the pass in the evening which would have forced us to drive and additional 8 to 10 hours to get back to our RV.
Lundy Canyon is one of many on the East side that contain a creek draining snow melt from the mountains. The whole area is a desert but along these creeks there is lush foliage which turns to bright colors in the fall creating a striking contrast to the desert brush.
